YMCA Bournemouth provides inclusive youth services and activities for children and young people across Bournemouth and the wider Dorset area.

Our youth work includes Townsend Youth Club, providing free open-access youth sessions for Senior School aged young people; Townsend Kids play and activity sessions for children in school years 1 to 6; and The Chatterboxes, our youth action project for disabled young people aged 11 to 25.

Our youth team provides safe, welcoming spaces where children and young people can make friends, develop confidence and life skills, take part in activities, have their voices heard and receive support from experienced youth workers.

Townsend Youth Centre is the headquarters for YMCA Bournemouth's youth team. Please visit our website or contact the Youth Office for current activities, session times and registration information.
